Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

The moonlight tonight is beautiful; not only is the full moon hanging high in the sky, but there are no clouds to obscure it. The silvery moonlight illuminates the bustling district of Orario and shines on the long mansion of Twilight Manor, lighting up the courtyard and most of the corridors.

"Well then, I'm heading to my room."

"Mm, good night, everyone."

"Good night."

"See you tomorrow."

After the internal meeting of the familia concluded, everyone orderly exited Finn's office, greeting each other as they dispersed.

Revilia and Grace did not come out, nor did Loki; it seemed they still had some details to discuss.

In this situation, Bert was the first to walk out of the office, not saying a word, his hands in his pockets. Raul quickly followed him, excitedly speaking about something behind him, which seemed to annoy Bert, as evident from his back.

Ais also left after saying goodbye to Reiger and the others, leaving only Reiger, Theona, Theone, and Angel present.

Of course, it wasn't that Reiger, Angel, and Theone didn't want to leave, but rather, they were drawn by the strange antics of Theona.

"Hmm..."

Theona stood with folded arms, gazing at Ais's departing figure, with a troubled expression on whether to catch up to her or not.

"What's wrong with you?"

Originally intending to follow Bert and Raul back to their rooms, Reiger first noticed this scene and curiously asked.

"Stop pretending to be deep; it doesn't suit you."

Theone unhesitatingly exposed her sister, making Theona appear as if she was aggravated enough to bite someone.

"I'm not pretending to be deep! I'm just thinking!"

Theona's protest was met with everyone's astonishment.

"You can think?"

"...It seems even less suitable for you."

Theone looked surprised, and even Angel murmured, nearly provoking Theone to the point of anger.

"I may not be good at thinking, but I can think about things, okay?"

Theona was extremely dissatisfied, almost needing to vindicate herself on the spot.

"So, what are you thinking about?" Reiger glanced at Ais, who was gradually disappearing into the distance, and asked thoughtfully, "Is it related to Ais?"

"Yes." Theona admitted straightforwardly and said, "Because, there are some things Finn and the others didn't explain."

What things?

Very simple.

Reiger, Angel, and Theone all thought of it.

"Is it 'Alya'?"

Angel revealed this unexplained matter.

"That's right, that's it." Theona nodded continuously and said, "Why does that weirdo call Ais 'Alya'?"

"And that spirit avatar on the 59th floor also called Ais 'Alya'?"

"Finn and the others seem to know the reason, but they didn't mention it just now."

Theona's words caused Theone and Angel to frown in thought.

However, Reiger asked a question.

"The spirit avatar on the 59th floor also called Ais 'Alya'?"

Because he deliberately arrived late, Reiger did not witness what happened before the expedition team engaged with the spirit avatar.

"Yes!" Theona, knowing this matter clearly, as an involved party, said to Reiger, "As soon as we saw the spirit avatar, she kept calling Ais 'Alya' and said she wanted to merge with Ais."

"Ais's reaction at the time was so strange, full of fear and disbelief, as if she didn't want to believe that monster was a spirit."

"But Ais was the first to identify that monster as a spirit."

Therefore, everyone vaguely had a thought in their hearts, that perhaps there was some connection between Ais and the Polluted Immortal Spirit.

This connection led the Polluted Immortal Spirit, intending to destroy Orario, to target Ais, even sending out that weirdo to get at Ais.

Those who experienced the expedition to the 59th floor realized this and were puzzled by it.

And today, although Finn explained the current situation based on the information provided by Reiger, combined with his understanding and speculation, he said nothing about Ais or mentioned the noteworthy name "Alya."

This caused quite a bit of struggle for the not-so-bright Amazon sister, leading her to stare intensely at Ais's back, seemingly trying to discern something.

Reiger couldn't say much about this, so he remained silent.

But Angel and Theone, on the other hand, seemed to have opened a Pandora's box and began discussing it.

"Looking at the leader, it indeed seems like they deliberately avoided mentioning this instead of overlooking it."

Theone clearly understood her crush's thoughts well.

"Perhaps because it involves personal privacy?" Angel seemed to have guessed something, saying in a low voice, "Ais clearly knows about this but doesn't want to say anything. The leader and the others might have decided to respect her wishes, deliberately not mentioning it."

"But what's there to hide?" Theona tilted her head and said, "Aren't we all comrades?"

This remarks made Reiger, breaking his silence, calmly speak.

"Even if we're comrades, some things just don't want to be said." Reiger looked at the Amazon twins, Theona and Theone, and spoke with implicit meaning, "Everyone has a past they don't want others to know about and secrets they can't easily share, right?"
